Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?

shouldn’t it be considered vegan to harvest any of the useful parts from it, since there was no human-caused suffering involved?

What the fuck are you talking about? The corpse is still made up of animal parts. For the record I’m a vegetarian because I hate animals and I think they’re gross.

I’m agitated by this post not because of whatever morality question you’re trying to pull, but for linguistics sake.

Definition of Vegan from Merriam - Webster:

a strict vegetarian who consumes no food (such as meat, eggs, or dairy products) that comes from animals

also : one who abstains from using animal products (such as leather)

People like you are the reason why the word “literally” doesn’t mean “literally” anymore and we don’t have a replacement.

I’m referring to veganism the moral philosophy, not the deit.

  That’s not the question you asked
  
  shouldn’t it be considered vegan The answer is no, because the definition of the word. I’m sick of “vibe” people. Words have meanings.

Literally still means literally, it just ironically also means figuratively now too.

But it’s literally always meant literally.

  Literally used to mean literally. It still does. It just used to a well.
